"Stop Stop Stop" is one of the creepier "happy" britpop hits of all time. It's not often cited as one of their best but I think it is.

I'll do The Association one of these days.

Mott the Hoople




I've previously done a whole MtH mix in the rparis dumb idea thread, so this one's a little different: a tenner of Mott using only live versions, pieced together from the 30th Anniversary Mott Live reissue (and pulled mostly from the phenomenal Hammersmith sides, which featured guests Mick Jagger and David Bowie). Listening to this now, it's hard to place into context - the year was 1974, glam was ending, punk was already on the horizon, and you can hear the collison of both not only in the constant powerchord attack of the band, but in the way Hunter rips a new asshole into Don MacLean's "American Pie" or stops "Sweet Angeline" to call out for a few London slags. Hell, I even hear some proto-Eddie Van Halen in Ariel Bender's amelodic leads. And people wondered why they weren't more popular. Anyway, it's only nominally a tenner, because the band favored veering off into other songs when playing live. Ah, the lost art of the "medley"...

1. American Pie/ The Golden Age of Rock and Roll
2. Roll Away the Stone/ Sweet Jane
3. All the Way From Memphis
4. Sweet Angeline
5. All The Young Dudes
6. Jerkin' Crocus/ One of the Boys/ Rock 'n' Roll Queen/ Get Back/ Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On/ Violence
7. Walkin' With A Mountain



RIYL: teh massive rock


and PS: I should also mention that I'm usually not a fan of live albums, but this one is pretty amazing. Pristine sound and a band at the top of their form.

holy shit

Yeah, I just shit my pants. Count me amongst the vast swath of dipshits and losers who actually really fucking likes American Pie.

Sweet sassy molassy.

Pinback

This one was particularly difficult for me, so instead of limiting it to my all-time favorites which stick mainly to blue screen life and the s/t one, I chose to try and give some favorites from the main albums that I know of which includes Blue Screen Life, S/T, Summer in Abbadon, and Autumn of the Seraphs. The latter of which is probably UNDER-represented since I am not that familiar with it and feel like it may have better songs on there than the ones I remember being my favorites (been a while since I listened to it). After choosing songs for this tenner, I feel like I am probably gonna go on a Pinback relapse. It's been a while since we shared a moment...



1. Prog
2. Non Photo-Blue
3. Loro (probably my favorite track)
4. Fortress
5. Devil You Know
6. Montaigne
7. X I Y
8. Hurley
9. Seville
10. Off By 50

Enjoy.

Muse

I imagine Muse isn't new to anyone here. Most of you all probably listen to and like this band already, or at least have heard enough to make up your mind that you don't like them. Just trying to make a tenner for them made me realize just how much this band kicks my ass. I decided to just take two from each of the four albums I have for the first 8 tracks and then just randomly select two other favorites to round out the tenner. I figure this will be a nice little mix of songs for some to see why I like Muse.



1. Megalomania
2. Muscle Museum
3. Stockholm Syndrome
4. City of Delusion 1
5. New Born
6. Unintended
7. Ruled by Secrecy
8. Glorious
9. Hysteria
10. Falling Down

Enjoy.

I have 9 tracks together for a Donald Fagen tenner but his cover of Al Green's "Rhymes" has gone missing. Gotta find that before uploading the tenner.

I ain't downloading that...

yeah me either.

This is wicked shee you old muddafudda. Thanks

RIYL : Excellent songs from the Pennsylvania Dutch Country that captures the essence of The Band, John Prine and bluegrass.

What you notice after spending some time with this band is that the simple nature of the melodies, vocals and musicianship belies some real thought and creativity.

An often passed over gem by the Hollies is Won't we Feel Good

Good thing I saw this. I was working on doing James. Mine was to include Honest Joe, Tomorrow, Low Low Low, Walking The Ghost, She's A Star, One Of The Three, Sometimes.

Those are all good, too.

Yeah, you shouldn't.

I think you'd be okay to make a separate tenner for the same band. Different tastes from different fans and all...

In James' case they have two distinct tones; the sardonic jangle pop and the Eno-inflected ambient ballads.

So two tenners could sound substantially different.

Thank you, I think.

Yeah, I made a second tenner for Sparklehorse.

Right now I'm thinking of doing either Underground Lovers or Dressy Bessy.
